Don't mumble with your mouth full.....

We have decided to jump into the world of cyberspace and share a bit of our lives with you. Get ready to bedazzled by our exciting lives...examples of upcoming posts will be...the boy learning how to cook (somebody in this family should), things the boy is interested in (you know sports and gross stuff), the occassional ponderings of the dog, and just plain day to day ramblings of the mumma

Wow.. I'm a poet and don't even know it...or maybe I'm just delirious because I still can't sleep....oh to fall asleep at a decent hour and to stay asleep... insomnia sucks man..

Anyhow... another great trip to the goodwill bookstore today. The boy and I stopped there on the way to swimming and looky at what we got....(added a link to books under pictures if you want to know more about book)

So all 9 of these books for guess how much...come on guess...3 of them were hardcovers and all are in tip top shape....whatcha think....okay I'll tell ya...all these books for a mere $30.00. I was at Chapters last weekend and bought only two books for 30 bucks. Oh how I love the goodwill bookstore... if you have read any of these leave a comment and let me know what you thought...ok I'm gonna go and try to get to sleep again - I suppose I could read if I still can't get to sleep...wish me luck.

Unfortunately by the end of the night the "chef" no longer had the bushy moustache...it had morphed into a straggily beard and the hair pieces hanging around his ears where lost somewhere between St. John street and the Estates....all in all it was another successful candy grab.......Bork..... Bork... Bork!
Oh and in case you are wondering, yes, that is a pan and wooden spoon that he carried all night for his "candy bag" - the mumma was his sherpa that carried the real bag that he transferred the candy from the pot to the bag. Don't worry I got paid in mini Snickers bars for my troubles.....

Guess what is on the boy's shoulder.....come on look closely....still not sure?...look closely...it's pretty obvious....boy your gonna feel silly when I tell you and you couldn't figure it out...last chance....why clearly it's a sand parrot....wow have you never been to the beach??...gheesh...
Yes, I felt the same way when I was ask and was not able to give the appropriate answer to the boy (otherwise known as the Michael Angelo of sand sculpture)

Speaking of sand...here is the boy spending literally spending 3 1/2 hours on his sandcastle (yes I mean literally, I know what literally means). Never in his life has he ever spend over 3 hours consistently doing one thing, it was impressive - maybe he was delirious from sunstroke...if only he had the focus on his schoolwork..

Back at the cottage we watch movies on the projector tv - Harry Potter movies, the boys would sit on the upstairs balcony some nights and pretend they were at the theatre

That's their heads peeking through the holes watching the movie

Overall everyone had a blast at our little get away...hopefully we will be able to go back again next year

There was fishing at the pond/river/marsh/swamp/water - the best fishing was under the bridge. The boys caught sunfish, rock bass, some fish that was like a sunfish and bass (I called it a sun bass), minnows, mudskipper, a big long fish, and probably ebola (it was really gross water to the momma). Apparently there were several sightings of the biggest carp known to man but was never caught.

Of course there were more walks to the beach - it was only about a 2 minute walk to our own private beach..

I have used all the space allowed for a post so I will end this now and post more pics later - there is alot more to share from the cot-tage....
